After using the XP theme in IceWM I have changed my mind a bit. It still looks cool, but I have to say that Barry has gone to a lot of effort to make FVWM95 really work. The only real problem is that the Mozilla and Dillo browsers oversize past the tool bar hiding the location bar at the bottom of the page.

Also, IceWM doesn't show iCal in the apps menu, and instead shows Xcal which isn't as good. You can still run iCal by manually running the program. Which reminds me, is there a simple way to make a start menu or desktop shortcut, or even a new folder on the desktop? Maybe a trash bin?

The already installed 2nd choice in the start menu is JWM which is quite clever and does size windows properly, but it doesn't have FVWM95's neat dock apps. Oh and I'd love to see a WIFI strength dock app.

This is still a very good distribution, still looking at getting better sound configuration._________________Puppy Linux makes old computers like new!

This is precisely why I use the AutoHide feature for the taskbar, by uncommenting the following line in .fvwm95rc:

*FvwmTaskBarAutoHide

I mainly do this as a workaround for my limited video options.

Going back to the original topic, I sincerely hope that Puppy never looks like XP by default. As a Windows NT4 user primarily, the first thing I do on an XP box is to turn off as much of the eye-candy as possible to make it behave somewhat like 95 or NT. One of the great things about Puppy is that it is NOT Windows XP. But as long as XP themes remain to be optional, then I don't mind.
